Description
‘YOU ARE NOT ALONE’ is a new temporary commission by Southend-based artist Scottee that marks fifty years since the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality. Installed on both sides of the railway bridge spanning the width of Southend High Street, the commission will be visible for half a mile along the town’s main thoroughfare.
